It's not Sweden.

[volcanic]

It's no one.

[danishes]

But also not Sweden! ( this is important okay!!! )

[volcanic]

No, not Sweden either.

[danishes]

( satisfied, he nods, and scoots a bit more.

thinking… ) I'll buy you your candy if you stop bein' shy.

[volcanic]

I can pay for it. [ But he's already feeling the pressure. ]

[danishes]

You can't afford it! ( this is the part where mom is like, i know you can't make it on your own you're a baby have five dollars )

[volcanic]

I can to! [ Who do you think he is, he doesn't need you to pay for everything!!!!! ]

[danishes]

Not without budget cuts! But don't worry, that's what older bros are for!

[volcanic]

My economy is getting better, I can buy it. [ Trying to sound proud but kinda failing because shut up Denmark don't make him self conscious. ]

[danishes]

( wooooshes over on the cart to be in hair ruffling proximity, and then commences with. )

It's okay to rely on the people who love you, Ice! It's because we love you that we wanna help! ( this might be vaguely meaningful if not for the setting and hair ruffling. )

[volcanic]

[ It could possibly interpreted as sweet if it wasn't Denmark. ]

B- but I can do it myself, stupid. [ He seems more 'defeated' than upset. ]

[danishes]

Sure you can! ( dismissive… but cheerfully!

he also grabs the liquorice and drops it into the cart triumphantly. )

[volcanic]

[ Iceland frowns, but knows he can't really get his way in this instance, which sucks, but, you know. Whatever. At least Denmark is being nice about it. ]

Do you need anything else? [ "Can we go now?" ]

[danishes]

Beer. ( duh and obviously. he gives iceland a look like why are you being dumb, it's weird. )

[volcanic]

[ Iceland gives a look back. He's lived with you for over 500 years so it's like?? Beer sort of goes without saying?? Denmark is the dumb one here. ]

Other than that.

[danishes]

Hm… ( he thinks about this for a second, seemingly seriously. ) What do ya want for dinner?

[volcanic]

I don't care. [ ~~Helpful Teenager Insight~~ ]
